Amy King. You sometimes question some of the teaching practices of this mostly young staff. They just don't have your years of experience. When you suggest some ideas or tricks of the trade, most of them listen politely and some (especially Emily) take them seriously. Ben just blows you off. You have a sense that the others are so concerned about "21st century skills" that they're not preparing the kids for the rigors of high school and (ideally college). You worry about how well the Dewey Academy kids will do on the SAT in a few years.
